Aclaim 2 Nasal CPAP Mask with Headgear

The Aclaim 2 Nasal CPAP Mask with Headgear is an improved version of Fisher and Paykel's first nasal CPAP mask. It showcases their unique "Fit and Forget" technology, a combination of cushion shape and headgear design that has been their trademark ever since.

Product Features

The Aclaim 2 Nasal CPAP Mask with Headgear offers the easy to use comfort for which Fisher & Paykel is known.

Out of Box Solution. All Fisher & Paykel masks come fully assembled and ready to wear so there is no fumbling or confusion.

FlexiFit Cushion. The unique inner foam cushion provides a secure base. One small silicon seal and one large allow the mask to seal well on a variety of nose and bridge shapes and sizes.

Glider Strap Anti-Leak System. This strap is used to connect the headgear to the mask frame for stability, but it slides across the frame when the head is turned so that the pressure of the seal stays uniform regardless of sleep position.

Over-the-Head Hose. The Aclaim 2 includes a short tube connected to the mask elbow. The short tube connections to the six foot hose. It is fixed upward to keep the hose from being tangled in bedclothes. The short tube of the Aclaim 2 is 8 inches long.

Top Strap Headgear. A front-to-back fifth strap on the headgear helps stability and secures the short tube to keep the CPAP hose above the head. The headgear of the Aclaim 2 Nasal CPAP Mask is latex free, as are all other headgear by Fisher & Paykel.

Tired of adjusting your headgear every time you take your mask off during the night? Quick-Clips allow users to easily remove and replace the mask on your face without re-adjusting the headgear straps.

This describes the type of mask cushion for the mask. These values are either cloth, foam, gel, or silicone. The foam and gel are usually both silicone based materials. The masks that are marked as "silicone" are without gel or foam.

Indicates which masks come packaged with more than one cushion, pillow or prong. Masks can come packaged with ALL Sizes or a combination of sizes as a Fit Pack. This is ideal for users who have not tried the mask before and do not know the right size to select.

This property identifies masks that are ideal for small facial features. Any mask with a size petite or extra small will be marked 'Yes'. Nasal Pillow masks are ideal because they accommodate the size of the 'nare' or nasal openings, not the face.

The value will be marked 'Yes' for CPAP masks with interfaces that are unique to CPAP users with wide facial features. Masks with 'Wide' cushion sizes would fall under this category. Nasal pillow and prong masks are ideal for wide faces because the seal occurs around the nare, not the face.

Do you move around a lot when you sleep? These masks are ideal for users who either sleep on their side or stomach or restless sleepers who toss and turn. There are a few specialized cushions that address this issue as well as most Nasal Pillow and Prong CPAP masks.

These masks are designed to prevent mouth leaks. If you are opening your mouth during the night, airflow escapes and reduces therapy effectiveness. Users who are experiencing a dry mouth, sore throat, or sinus congestion may require a mask that seals around the mouth.

These masks have the least amount of material around the face, fewer headgear points, and offers more freedom when you sleep. Most Nasal Pillow and Nasal Prong masks are ideal for claustrophobic users.

These CPAP masks have interfaces that accommodate a wide variety of facial hair styles. Gel cushions and foam inserts provide support and comfort for users who may need to over-tighten headgear straps to help seal around facial hair. Silicone gel also helps create a fluid seal over the hair.

Important Tips

The Aclaim 2 Nasal CPAP Mask frame comes with only one size that fits most users. The mask frame is labeled with the mask name: Aclaim. When examining the front of the mask, the name is printed on the forehead support. The Aclaim cushion is replaceable and comes in two sizes: Small and Large. The cushion size is printed on the bottom, underneath the cushion body. The foam insert comes in only one size and is not labeled.

Best mask I've used in 3+ years!

Douglas L, NY – July 18, 2008

"Since I started using CPAP over 3 years ago (my machine has 8056 hrs on it), I have been using Respironics Comfort Gel masks. They seemed to work the best for me as far as comfort and minimal leakage. I did try a nasal pillow mask once but found I required alot of humidification to keep it from irritating my nose. The only thing that really bugged me about the Comfort Gel was the exhalation air noise varied alot between masks. One mask I would get would be very quiet and the next one would sound like a hurricane, even though they were supposed to be and looked like identical masks. It drove my wife, who is a light sleeper, completely nuts to the point where she had to sleep in a different room. I decided to try the Acclaim 2 based on the features that were listed on your website, one of them being the exhalation port filter that was supposed to reduce noise. From the first night I used this mask, about a week ago, I was sold! There is hardly any air noise after my breathing gets settled down, and I think my CPAP machine is even quieter. I think the Comfort Gel mask was losing more air than I realized. The mask is also very comfortable and maintains a seal even when I change positions. I think this is because of the extra strap on the headgear that goes over the top of your head. It is also very simply constructed and easy to take apart to clean. It is also substantially less expensive than the Comfort Gel. Right now I can't say enough good about this mask. All I would request is that Fisher & Paykel not do anything to degrade the performance and simplicity of this mask because I'm going to be using it from now on!"

you get what you pay for.

Woodrow F, Alabaster, AL – January 15, 2009

"I've been a CPAP patient for 15 years now and I've been through a lot of masks and head gear. Really there is no perfect apparatus for sleep apnea but with most everything, you get what you pay for. I'm a cheap-skate and I skimp on a lot of things. Don't skimp on your mask. I can't wait until I wear this one out and move on to something else. I've used Respironics exclusively and have never been disappointed. The cost of this mask versus the fore mentioned was significantly less. I gave it a shot. To get used to this mask, I've been taking sleep medication just to get to sleep. Maybe it's because it's different from what I'm used to, maybe it's because the hose runs up your forehead, maybe it's because there is a high pitched squealing noise when you exhale, I don't know... I just don't like it. It gets the job done with enough downers but I don't like it."

Pretty Good

"Have used this mask for years. A good basic mask."

Probably not for me.

Vicki L, MN – February 13, 2015

"I can't seem to get this mask to work for me. I have to have the headgear really tight to stop the leaks. They need a medium size mask insert. Small is not enough air, large is too much. The headgear doesn't work right with me being a side sleeper. I really don't think it's the mask and headgear itself, it is just how I sleep."

Which CPAP masks work on which machines?

All CPAP masks work with all machines.

Do you have a guide to help me choose the right mask?

Yes, we created a Help Me Choose guide to help you select the right mask or machine according to your preferences. The guide asks you a series of questions regarding your preferences and your facial features. Based on your answers we provide you with a comparison chart of the masks that meet your criteria. Get started here:

How often should I replace my mask?

Medicare allows for mask cushion replacement every three (3) months, and a complete mask system replacement every six (6) months. CPAP manufacturers and vendors suggest these replacement schedules as well.

In our experience, most mask cushions begin to deteriorate after about six months of use. The cushion eventually becomes too soft to hold a seal. The headgear straps lose elasticity and must be tightened more and more to get the same quality seal.

We strongly suggest replacing cushions and pillows as soon as they start to soften. Air leaks may reduce the effectiveness of CPAP therapy and headgear that is too tight may cause facial sores at pressure points. In most cases, replacement headgear is available if it is stretched out or the Velcro worn out.

To see what parts of your mask are replaceable refer to our Replacement Part Finder. Just search for your mask to see all of the replaceable parts.

Why might I prefer a nasal mask?

The ideal CPAP mask is the one you can't tell is on. Start with minimal masks. If you are strictly a nose breather, the nasal mask is a good choice. The nasal cushion creates a very good seal around your nose and has a small profile. Nasal masks are also offered in gel, which many find comfortable. The SleepWeaver Advance is the only cloth mask on the market and is a very popular choice among nasal mask users.

Most nasal masks have a forehead support which offers stability and support for the mask.

How do I care for my mask?

Masks should be washed daily with warm water using a very gentle soap or baby shampoo, and left to air dry. Never use antibacterial soap as it will break down the silicone of the mask cushion. Avoid soaps that include lotion which can coat the mask and cause it to lose its seal. A safe cleaner is the Control III Disinfectant CPAP Cleaning Solution. Remember, going to bed with a clean face will improve your seal and protect the lifespan of your mask.
The best time to clean your mask is in the morning after use. This removes the oils left behind from your skin which can reduce the lifespan of your mask. We recommend using mask wipes to make daily morning cleaning easy. The mask wipes are made from materials that will not break down your mask.
